Abstract: A communication process by connecting a server end in series with a system under verification (SUV) in a network. The process initializes a communication port connected to server end and SUV and associated parameters through a computer in server end and SUV. Then creates a required thread and an associated interrupt program in server end and SUV respectively. When data has been received, the received data package is stored in an embedded buffer in server end or SUV until a complete data package is stored in the buffer. Next, data is transmitted through a predetermined data transmission module. By continuing this process, it is possible to transmit data by connecting server end in series with SUV through the connected communication port rather than network adapter. It is simple in operation and cost effective.

Abstract: A method of obtaining the BIOS version date in the windows operating system using dynamic virtual device drivers (VxDs). First, input and output parameter buffers are defined and the initial address and area size of search memory are obtained. The physical address is mapped to a linear address. After initializing the address shift, the system makes sure the shift is smaller than the memory size minus 8. The system then checks that the address pointed by the initial address plus the shift contains a number. The address of the number is taken as the base address. The values in the zeroth through the ninth bytes of the base address are preserved and returned to the application routine, giving the BIOS version date.

Abstract: This specification discloses a method for automatic testing PCMCIA cards. The method first loads in the main library of the control panel, then checks and displays the PCMCIA module using the application interface of the control panel library. A SetwindowsHook then loads in dynamic link library (DLL) and checks the TextOut function address from the ModuleList in PCMCIA module for interception and data storage. The peripheral description values are stored in a list and compared with the data intercepted and stored in the ModuleList to complete a test report on correctness or error.

Abstract: A method for managing and using a test system is proposed, which is applied to the test system comprising a test server and a test workstation, and allows a user to perform a test and obtain a test report according to the user's right for accessing the test server and an actual operating state of the test workstation. The users are assigned to different test groups set up in the test server. The test workstation activates a start-up window for the user to input data thereto and transmits the data to the test server. The test server then processes the transmitted data and produces the corresponding test report according to the right of the user and the right of the test group which the user belongs to for accessing the test server.

Abstract: A disk-cloning method and system is provided for cloning computer data from a source disk to a target disk. This disk-cloning method and system can be utilized, for example, in the computer assembly line to clone a preselected set of software programs to the main hard disk of each computer unit, or as a backup to a hard disk. This disk-cloning method and system is characterized in that the source data are read from the source disk and written onto the target disk in a sector-by-sector manner rather than in a file-by-file manner as the prior art. This feature allows the cloning procedure to be more efficiently carried out than the prior art. Moreover, it allows the disk-cloning procedure to be performed without having to make modifications to the existing FDT (File Directory Table) and FAT (File Allocation Table) on the target disk, thus ensuring the system security of the target disk. This disk-cloning method and system is therefore more reliable and efficient to use than the prior art.
